Powerhead for HMF? 10 or 20Long gallon tanks Hamburg Matten Filter

[ShrimpP]

Any specific powerhead you all are using on your Hamburg Matten Filters (HMF)?

Was thinking of setting up 4 tanks this way instead of dual sponge filters. Seems most say HMF is better.

Cheap-o little no-name brand powerheads on eBay alright?

 

I'd be interested in seeing pics or links of set ups/builds if you've done anything unique for your build (corner or full end HMF).

Recommendations on pore sizes to use so that the tiniest of shrimplets are still safe?

I didn't really do anything fancy or unique with my HMF filter set up. But it works great. Here's a link to my build a while back.

I'm off to reread Mayphly's thread.

If your going to use powerheads go with the 45ppi.  I dont think a powerhead is needed for HMF.

I have 45ppi and a jetlifter (homemade) is doing fine..I think..
